Looks Sorry for the lack of new entries— like I said, December is such a busy month and I’m swamped with projects and other personal stuff I need to get done before the holidays, like getting my teeth checked/cleaned before dental insurance runs out for this year since I’ve been avoiding it all year. My dentist somehow talked me into getting my teeth bleached (after I told him about my undying love for Crest White Strips) so he’s sending an application to my insurance company to see if they will cover it. The reason I maybe able to get it for free is because of… my tongue piercing (hah! to boyfriend who got mad at me after I got it). It supposedly scratches against my teeth causing sensitivity (hasn’t happened… yet) so I can get one which can be used as a tray and a guard when I sleep. Damn, I guess jokes on me. I swear I’m just just letting them make money off me because I don’t even smile with my teeth opened; I’m just REALLY easy to sell shit to (so if you’re an SA…). :|

I’m soo excited for Cali! There were a lot last year we didn’t have time to do so hopefully we can squeeze it in this year. I was hoping to go to Pink’s pow wow :( and even talking to Boyfriend about changing our plane tickets so we can go earlier… but then it’s too late to take any days off work. Have fun though ladies!

Dinner / Secret Santa / REUNION with the ladies.

Sorry everyone, your Christmas cards might get to you after Christmas because there were some shipping difficulties when I got them sent to me (I knew I should’ve written “Merry Belated Christmas” on them) and the colors are messed up! They were suppose to be a light blue, but it turned out way less saturated. :( My fingers are also forever cramped from writing 100+ cards since I haven’t written that much since high school but I’ll try to send them off tomorrow morning before I go to work. Mailing internationally went up 70 cents since the last time I snail-mailed overseas!! :o

Lessons Learned in 2008

Food, Mochi

It’s almost the end of the year and the start of a new one. Here are some lessons I learned in 2008:

  • Lock up all the vanilla flavored granola bars in my desk. They always mysteriously disappear and the culprit always leaves me the blueberries and strawberries which I don’t like very much. (Note-to-self: next time don’t buy in bulk!)
  • Buy tire insurance if you’re an idiot like me (especially if it’s cheap). When I got a set of new tires earlier this year, the guy asked me if I wanted insurance just in case something happens (eg. hit the curb and it rips); it was only like $10 more since Boyfriend knew him but I said “no, who the hell hits the curb?!!!” A couple weeks later when it started snowing and the roads were icy, I didn’t slow down enough on a right turn (since I was coming from the highway), skidded and smashed a tire on the curb— not only did I ruin the tire, I hit so hard I damaged a couple more parts inside my car and it cost $3gs to fix.
  • When the toilet seat cover is closed, head to another stall or you might find a nice little surprise.
  • Always get Christmas cards printed ONE MONTH before Christmas— meaning have them arrive at your door one month ahead if you’re printing from an online printer.
  • ALWAYS carry hand sanitizer. I opened a door at the mall the other day and got some gooey booger like stuff all over my hands.
  • Always carry a nail clipper/ file and bandaids. Especially if you have weakass nails from going to the nail salon too much. And also invest in a bottle of OPI Nail Envy.
  • Korean Pancake Don’t overcook seafood when attempting to make Korean Seafood Pancakes; I did this last night and totally failed but at least it was my first time. It didn’t taste too bad though even though I was setting myself for disappointment when my lovely Korean friend informed me that you can’t really get it to be that restaurant-like crispyness unless you use a lot of oil (which I didn’t want to do) and have a better grill.
  • Never take on the task of taking care of 5 or more kids at once with less than 2 adults.
  • Don’t let your dog fall asleep beside your head. Especially when you hay fever or sinus problems.
  • No matter how many times you read over your blog entry before publishing, you will always find spelling/grammar mistakes in it when you look back at them a year later.
